‘LUKEWARMIST’ SCIENTIST JUDITH CURRY CALLS FOR END OF IPCC

Posted 7 October 2013

Climate
scientist Judith Curry, who has gained a reputation as a “lukewarmist”
for agreeing with many climate assertions made by global warming
activists but calling for more scientific scrutiny of alarmist claims,
called for an end to the United Nations Intergovernmental Panel on
Climate Change (IPCC). Curry, a climate science professor at the Georgia
Institute of Technology, called IPCC an ends-driven process that
impedes scientific progress. Curry
explained IPCC suffers from paradigm paralysis, which she defined as
“caused by motivated reasoning, oversimplification, and consensus
seeking; worsened and made permanent by a vicious positive feedback
effect at the climate science–policy interface.”
